Sebastopol - October 2004

Sebastopol is a sleepy little town just about an hour’s drive from San Francisco. It is the perfect getaway for a one or two night stay. Although Sebaptopol has received much attention in tourist magazines, we still consider it a secret or hidden getaway retreat. For San Franciscans this is a perfect way to get a quick change of pace. It is close to home and has all the charm and peace needed for rejuvenating the spirit.

Sebastopol is best known for its Gravenstein apple orchards, but this soon may be replaced for its fame as a prime wine country region. Some of the top Pinot Noir wines come from this area. There are plenty of nearby wineries where one can taste Pinor Noir and other outstanding wines produced from this area.

There are many other good reasons to visit the Sebastopol wine country: You will escape the wine crowds of the Napa, Sonoma, and the Healdsburg wine regions. Sebastopol is not considered fashionable or chic, so the cost of a getaway is much more reasonable.There is an antique row, produce farms, day spas, and several gourmet restuarants.
